RED FANG Premiere "Shadows" Music Video via Funny Or Die

Portland
rockers RED FANG mess with the wrong comic book collectors in the band’s new
video for “Shadows,” which debuted via Funny or Die this morning and can be
viewed HERE.

“We had the pleasure of working with Whitey (McConnaughy)
again on another music video,” the band's singer/guitar player Bryan Giles
commented of the Predator-like clip. “It was a crazy adventure through the
woods in rural Oregon.
It has stunt men, real firepower and some great explosions! We had a blast on
this one.”

The video is the sixth to pair RED FANG and director
McConnaughy; the first clip from the partnership was 2010’s “Prehistoric Dog”,
which saw the Portland-based band challenge a local role playing troupe only to
suffer the consequences. The most recent video from the band & McConnaughy
is the 2013 clip featuring Fred Armisen and a horde of beer-thirsty zombies in
“Blood Like Cream”.

RED FANG have been vocal about their transformative
experience working with Robinson, with the band saying the sessions marked “a
huge leap forward for us” and adding that they feel like “a better band for
it.” A series of in-studio videos are rolling out via Relapse Records’ YouTube
page, which can be viewed here.

Theband kick off an
extensive fall tour on Sept. 26 with a month of European tour dates followed by
another month of U.S.
dates. Labelmates Torche will open on both runs with Whores joining the U.S. dates.

After three years of vigorously touring the world, RED FANG,
the beer-loving Portland-based rock band whose new album was included in
Rolling Stone’s list most anticipated 2016 releases, re-emerge with their
greatest and latest full-length album, Only Ghosts. Produced by the legendary
Ross Robinson (At The Drive In, The Cure, Slipknot, and many more) and mixed by
Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Melvins), Only Ghosts consists of
10 new tracks of the band's signature, high-impact, hook-filled, hard rock. RED
FANG prove once again they are top-notch songwriters who have mastered the
heavy anthem without taking themselves too seriously. Only Ghosts is a rock
album of incredible magnitude that demands to be played at maximum volume!

Only Ghosts is set for release this October 14 on
CD/LP/Digital via Relapse Records. Physical pre-orders are available via
Relapse.com here, and digital pre-orders can be found at the band's Bandcamp
page at this location.

Additionally, RED FANG’s music and likeness are featured on
Pabst Blue Ribbon’s new pinball machine, the Can Crusher, which was unveiled at
San Diego Comic-Con. The machine, developed in partnership with Stern Pinball,
Inc., features a retro game design with art by Dirty Donny.
